Yes, there are a couple of open issues that look liek they could be done with 
only a little effort.

There is one change I'd like to see, namely the addition of a usecase for 
deletion of older versions of a document, or maybe only the oldest version. I 
have a case with multiple versions of assets, especially large PDF files, where 
people should be able to delete all but the latest version.

I can invest a bit of time. Not so much for actual coding, but for testing. I 
need to migrate a set of publications to a new server, and it seems like an 
excellent test case for 2.1.
